The Oakville Community Foundation is thrilled to announce that Jaya Mootoo has joined our team as the new Director of Fundholder & Community Engagement. With this new addition to the team, Frances Pace has transitioned into the role of Advisor to the CEO until the end of the year, when she retires.
Jaya is a driven professional, dedicated to equity and inclusion in fundraising, the nonprofit and charitable sector and society. She has 20-years of experience in social services and community development, including working with women and children experiencing intimate partner violence and food insecurity, and volunteering with police services.
She created a successful, globally recognized fund-raiser: “CRAM-A-CRUISER FOOD DRIVE AND FUNDRAISER”, now implemented by numerous Police services across Canada and the US, raising millions of dollars and supplies for various organizations.
Having completed the Event Management Diploma program at Humber College, Jaya continued developing her skills through Humber’s Fundraising Management Post Graduate Certificate program, graduating in November 2019.
“I’m excited to join the amazing team at the Oakville Community Foundation. I am looking forward to working with our community of Fundholders to help make Oakville a better place for everyone to live, work and play.”
